This is the destination for all based webms, brotherOn tonight's docket: NJPW Super Jr Tag League, NOAH Star Navigation and more!
I'm starting off with New Japan Road in Ishikari!
Comedy legend, Nagata Yuji (57)
This is neat.
>>19127792Whew those kicks looked good
This match was my main event. Immediate electricity between everyone in the ring, good stuff.>>19127799Inaba is a former karateka, I believe. I don't know much about the JTO girls but her kicks have always stood out.
I hope you watched Go vs Kento this week OP. It was probably my favorite match in awhile.
>>19127839nagai is so good. all he needs is a special signature move and hes golden. i think a liontamer style boston crab would work well and go along with his whole reject the dojo thing
>>19127863I haven't gotten around to it but I'll do my best to have it done before tomorrow!>>19127868Yeah, I agree. He's got so much character already and this match is such a good showcase. Zero story going in and he makes that spark immediately.
>>19127905I think you'll like it. The Anzai match that night was solid too.
Tsukamoto is SUCH a dimes machine. I don't get to see him much given that he's with JTO, but every time I see him wrestle he impresses me so much. Such a look, such fire and presence. He steals the show every time I catch him.>>19127953Hell yeah. Sounds like good stuff, I'm excited to get around to it.
>>19127868Stuff like this, too. I feel like most guys would just go for the staredown but not Nagai.
>>19128158hes such a little shit. he reminds me of shit post mode KENTA sometimes
Just insane that this guy is closing in on 60.>>19128179I can see that actually, good comparison. I hope we get a 2005 "shoots on people in hopes to get killed" KENTA gimmick from him too.
BOOOOOOOOO
>it took jakob austin young a match against the JR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, DOUKI to look goodMakes sense. DOUKI is DIMES, after all.
>>19128204>easily one-ups itShould've expected.
This team is immediately so dimes.
>>19128744>mfw this match
>>19128774Pure cinema
>>19128827dying
Genuinely insane cinematography.
FUCK this one is LOUD.
So is this.
God this is one HEAVY drop.
>>19127630>based webmsjust the way I li...
HUGE>>19129748FINNERMAN NOOOOOOOO
I have no idea what to call this but I had to make it.
BIG MATCH TAGUCH
You forget Taguchi used to be called "KING OF DROPKICK" until he does shit like this.
Next up is NOAH's Star Navigation show from last weekend!
I love this lil nigga
GO LITTLE MAN GO
>>19130353I wouldn't mind seeing Hiromu do a little AJPW juniors tour once he's done with NOAH
>>19130361I'm honestly not the biggest Hiromu fan but I think he's been booked super well in NOAH. I wanted him to drop it to Junta, but having him go "if you want to beat me, then win the tournament" is a really good compromise for him sticking around. I hope they use this to push someone heavily.
>>19129775deadlifts are over with me, brother
>>19130429Based as fuck
This was a fun match. Dempsey's good at the catch stuff and it's nice to see Kaito grappling.
>>19130619Dempsey's weird to me. It feels like he should be a regular in NOAH or AJPW instead of NXT
>>19130724Yeah, I can see that, but NXT also had Hideki Suzuki for the longest time and that's about a hundred times weirder to me.
The reaction for this is great.
God I'm so fucking happy this big nigga is back.
This is neat, especially the buckle throw.
Completely effortless.
TIREMANAGENDA2025DESTROYKILLI'm gonna be so upset if Inamura doesn't get the title. Tireman's the guy.
Last for today is Kobashi vs. Hase from 26.08.1997! This is a very overlooked match, in my opinion, but Hase is in general. Some really good stuff in here.
Everything Kobashi did just looked so BIG.
>>19131327Inamura is based. kenta is a shitter.
>>19131477I totally get why NOAH wanted KENTA to have the belt given the reactions he was getting. The crowd loved him, and still do, but it's exactly the kind of reign that needs to be ended by a younger guy, and Inamura is the guy.
Hase sells these SO well.
Holy fucking ribola
>>19131505>>19131477Much like Kenta, Inamura is taunted by the gaijin shitters, as seen in him teaming with a shitter like Lewis >>19131132 remove gajins from Japan and end all foreign influence. Rid the puro scene of the beaners, the amerimuts and the bongs.
>that's not gonna work for me brother
CHOPPAHOPPA
>>19127630Haha time for the best thread of the week
So simple, so great. I love Hase muscling him up.>>19131798Always happy to have you, brother.
>this man was first and foremost a politician at this pointHe'd get my vote.
>>19131788Love these /kino/ shots where the sweat is flying>>19131827>Always happy to have you, brother.Time for the bumping gang soon
>>19131930>Love these /kino/ shots where the sweat is flyingWhenever a match has a dark backdrop I try to catch one.
This first enzui lariat is NASTY. Such a great finish in general. Kobashi was a demon. That's all for me for today! Tomorrow I'll have this week's AJPW show, as well as more King's Road action and maybe some BJW too for variation if I have time for it. I'm leaving the thread in the eurobros' hands now. I'll see you all tomorrow! Goodnight, bros.
>>19132076>webmAbsolutely based Kobashi. Goodnight, based webmbro.
what if i were to bump the webm thread tho
>>19133062Delightfully devilishii
bombclaat
i kind of want to watch a death match or something ridiculous like funk v lawler empty arena. anyone have a rec? preferably something on youtube so i can easily dl and clip it. i ask here since i assume most of you actually like wrestling
I'm back! Thank you all for keeping us bumped. As promised, I'm starting us off with AJPW.>>19127863I didn't watch all, but most of this. If you've got any requests for stuff I missed, let me know!>>19134823>i kind of want to watch a death matchMy absolute favorite deathmatch is Jun Kasai vs. Ryuji Ito from 20.11.09. I already made webms of that one, but they're all 240p and no longer on the archive so I definitely wouldn't mind seeing those remastered. Looks like you'd have to search harder than just YouTube, though.If you want both deathmatch and ridiculous you can't go wrong with early-90's FMW. Rarely very webm-friendly but still great stuff and very worth it for the spectacle alone.
Based ribLORDS
I'm not familiar enough with Rising HAYATO to say for sure if this is the way this is meant to go but it looks crazy smooth regardless.
God DAMN.
I haven't kept up with AJPW press conferences or backstage comments. Does anyone know why Kento has the Triple Crown instead of the new AJPW belt?
>>19136370Far as I know Kento did it for the aesthetic due to the match. Rest of the time he's been using the new belt.
>>19136394Based. As much as I love the Triple Crown belts (maybe my all-time favorite championship) I think it's good that they get to rest. They're a piece of history with serious wear, but I appreciate Kento's sentiment.
>>19136469I love how hot the crowd was for this entire match. It might be one of the loudest AJPW crowds I've heard in awhile. They were going wild for Kento the entire time.
>>19136503Yeah, the reactions were fantastic. I still don't really like the idea of Shiozaki in HAVOC, he doesn't feel like he fits with their style at all. This match absolutely proved that the decision to bring him in as a heel was the right choice, though. Despite what happened in the post-match I hope he gets to stay evil for a while to see if it sticks.
>>19136596The vibe I get is AJPW wants Ashino to work with Go and soak up any experience or knowledge he could get from Go. When I look at it from that angle it makes sense. Havoc also are only situational heels at times like Go in this instance. They're not really like House of Torture or Team 2000X which I think throws off some people coming in from NJPW or NOAH.
Not really the same without Shiozaki struggling to make the 20-mount while looking like he's dying, but that's hard to fit in the webm without making it look awful.>>19136658Yeah, that's fair, I just mean that in this feud they're (at least Shiozaki) is the heel out of circumstance no matter how you slice it. I'd be interested in seeing Ashino with Shiozaki, too. He's one of my favorites on the roster.
you know you can post mp4s now right
These lifts are so wild. Shiozaki looks so confident in them I was half-expecting them to actually do something with that apron spot here. >>19136596>>19136742Yep. Webms are more size-efficient and I don't see a point in making a switch to MP4s just cause. "Weekend Mp4 Thread" doesn't roll off the tongue the same way either.
>>19136895I think Go was definitely wanting to prove that while his prime is over he can still work great matches and I think he succeeded. Wouldn't surprise me if he was sending a bit of a message to NOAH by doing it since they wouldn't use him in the N1.
I like this lariat to block the Blackout.
I don't remember Shiozaki using this in NOAH, at least not for the longest time. If he did bring it back for AJPW that's cute.
>>19137384I'm eager to see if Go pulls out anything else as he keeps working in AJPW.
I really like how the Shutdown is never easy to lock in but always gets the job done once the shoulders hit the mat.>>19137791I'd love to see the "vertical" Limit Break brought back as a super finisher, but I get if nobody is dumb enough to take that in current year.
Next up is a stop in BJW-town, before we go full pants off. This is Astronauts vs. Strong BJ from 10.05.21. I wish I could find more of their encounters because these two teams match up so goddamn well.
SLAPPA
Just so fucking good. Sekimoto's Atomic Drop might be the only time it doesn't look like a comedy move.
Sekimoto's German is so fucking good.
Pants off from this point forward! Next up is a tag team sprint between Misawa/Akiyama and Williams/Albright from 26.08.97! Talk about starting with a bang.
This suplex is honestly fucking insane. I've never seen someone get muscled over like this from anything other than a German and Albright throws Misawa across the entire thing like nothing.
>pure coked out gaijin nonsense
Next up is Kobashi/Shiga vs. the invading team FMW, Hayabusa and Shinzaki 06.09.1997
Team FMW just keep flexing on their opponents and getting the hugest pops for it, it rocks.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just wild the delay between his head and body hitting the mat.
>>19138816kek that club to the stomach
>>19139387Love Haya's mask
This rocks.>>19140409It's awesome. The makeup too, he had such a look.
I'm gonna close out with two absolutely fucking insane webms from that deathmatch I mentioned before.
This match (spot, more accurately) was responsible for getting balcony dives banned from Korakuen hall. Not hard to see why.
That's all for me for this week! Next week I'll have more highlights from SJrTL as well as the next Kakuto Tanteidan show, and I'm sure I'll run across something else to fill the thread up with too. I've always got more King's Road in the hopper and my BJW excursion isn't over yet either. I don't expect this thread to live as long as last week's because that was wild, but there's still some space and I'm happy with what I've posted this week. Thank you all fpr spending some time with me yet another week. I'll see you all next week. Goodnight, bros.
>>19140863>>19140978Fucking hell>YEAH, I'M FREE, FREE FALLIN'>>19141171Goodnight, based webmbro.
>>19127630
>>19127746mmmmmmmmm see me in wrestler's court in the dojo later
>>19141171thanks webmbro
>>19140978jesus christ. eat your heart out new jack
*enters thread*
>>19141171I love the threads. It gives a little taste of what's going on in a few different promotions. I'm only keeping up with AJPW actively right now so it's fun to see what NJPW and NOAH are doing.
>>19144927Utami seein stars
>>19141171>I don't expect this thread to live as long as last week's because that was wildone of these weeks, webmbro, we'll pull it off and have this fucking thing unarchived and waiting for the next Friday
>>19135527>Jun Kasai vs. Ryuji Ito from 20.11.09you've rec'd this before, im gonna try to dig up a decent version of it today.i ended up watching the darby vs moxley match that everyone is pearl clutching about. it was surprisingly boring. even the drowning was very dull. i liked this bump though. if anyone else has a spot they want clipped let me know, ill keep the file for a bit
